The "Other" DST: Comparing Real Estate Exit Strategies 

Most Chicago multifamily owners are familiar with the Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) for 1031 exchanges, but there is a second "DST" that could cost you millions if you confuse the two.

Before you list your property, you need to understand how the Deferred Sales Trust stacks up against the traditional real estate route:
The Debt Trap: Why 1031 DSTs solve your mortgage replacement while Deferred Sales Trusts can trigger immediate IRS penalties.
Estate Planning: How to ensure your heirs receive a "Step-Up in Basis" rather than inheriting a massive tax bill.
Net Income: Comparing the "Real Estate Tax Shield" of depreciation against ordinary income tax rates.

Plan Your Exit Strategy: Selling your building is only half the battle—keeping your equity is the other half. I specialize in helping apartment owners navigate high-value dispositions and tax-advantaged reinvestment.
